AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Davie
Window replacement in Davie runs $450-$1,100 per opening for a standard insert, and $850-$2,400 per opening for a full-frame replacement with HVHZ-rated impact glass, depending on size and framing condition. Most Davie ranch homes need full-frame work because the original 1970s-1980s aluminum frames are oxidized, undersized, or failing wind-mitigation inspections. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any hidden rot or code upgrades in writing before we touch the wall. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk the house with you, free.
We’ve opened up enough pre-Andrew Davie homes to know the job is rarely just glass. It’s framing, flashing, code triggers, and an insurance inspection deadline. Our crews serve Davie directly from our South FL office, scheduled locally and on time.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Davie’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, and the shop has years of craft heritage behind it. In Davie, that heritage shows up as a crew that knows what a 1978 concrete block ranch off Flamingo Road looks like once the slider comes out. We don’t guess at what’s behind the stucco. We’ve seen it.
Davie homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person who can schedule your estimate and talk through what the insurance letter from Citizens actually requires. That matters when your renewal deadline is thirty days out and you need answers, not a recording.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Then they register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s the floor for every job we take in Davie.
Our Window Replacement Services in Davie
Full Frame Replacement
Full-frame replacement is the most common job we do in Davie, and it’s the one that actually fixes the problem. The original aluminum frames on 1970s and 1980s ranch homes oxidize in our summer humidity, the glazing seals fail, and the rough opening behind the frame is often rotted or undersized. We remove the old frame down to the studs, repair or sister any damaged wood, install new flashing tape, and set the new impact-rated window with a proper sill pan. On a 6- to 8-foot rear slider opening, we expect to find something worth fixing. The allowance in our contract covers it, and we price any surprise in writing before we proceed.
Insert Window Replacement
An insert is the right call when the existing frame is still square, dry, and solid. In Davie, that’s more common on homes built after 1994 or on openings that got a retrofit at some point in the last twenty years. Inserts cost less and go in faster, but they don’t fix hidden rot or undersized framing. Our estimator will tell you straight if an insert is a bad bet for a particular opening. We’d rather walk away from a cheap fix than install a window that won’t pass inspection or hold its seal.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Davie aren’t an accessory. They’re the difference between a window that meets Broward County High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code and one that doesn’t. We install Miami-Dade NOA impact-rated storm windows and replacement units that carry the product certification your insurer wants to see. If your wind-mitigation inspection flagged original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows, storm-rated replacement is the fix. We document everything for your carrier.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Davie sits about 12 miles inland, so we don’t get the salt-air corrosion of beachside Broward, but we get the full force of summer heat and humidity. Original single-pane windows let that heat in and push your AC bill up. A low-E insulated glass upgrade in a typical 1,800-square-foot Davie ranch runs $7,500-$16,500 depending on opening count and glass package, and the difference in afternoon bedroom temperatures is real. This is the upgrade most Davie homeowners notice within the first week.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Davie homes we most often quote Window Replacement options from PGT, Andersen. PGT dominates the South Florida impact market for good reason - they build specifically for HVHZ loads. Andersen give you strong energy-performance choices when impact isn’t the primary driver. We quote these lines side by side on paper so you see the price, glass package, and warranty terms before you commit. Parts for common PGT and Andersen units are stocked locally, which keeps turnaround tight when a Davie homeowner needs a sash or hardware swap.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Oxidized aluminum frames from the 1970s-1980s. Davie’s summer humidity attacks these frames for forty straight years. The surface pits, the corners loosen, and the glazing channel eventually lets water behind the glass. Once the seal fails, the insulated unit fogs and the window fails a wind-mitigation inspection.
- Non-impact single-pane jalousie or aluminum sliders flagged by Citizens. These are the number-one trigger for non-renewal letters in Davie. The windows and the wide rear slider both get flagged, and the insurer won’t renew until both are replaced with HVHZ-rated units. We’ve handled enough of these to document the fix exactly the way the carrier wants to see it.
- Rotted or undersized framing around wide rear sliders. Davie’s ranch homes were built around 6- to 8-foot aluminum sliders opening to a rear patio. Forty years of rain and humidity, and the rough opening behind that slider is often soft. Opening the wall is the only way to find it, and full-frame replacement is the only way to fix it.
- Failed glazing seals on original insulated glass. Even where the frame looks fine, the original seal has usually given up. Fogged glass isn’t just a visibility problem - it means the insulating value is gone and the window is no longer performing. In Davie, that failed seal also shows up as a line item on a wind-mitigation report.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Davie, FL
Here’s what we’re seeing on Davie jobs right now. A standard insert replacement runs $450-$1,100 per window. A full-frame impact-rated replacement runs $850-$2,400 per opening, with the wide rear slider typically landing at the higher end, $2,800-$5,500 depending on width and glass package. Permit fees in Davie add $120-$350 for a typical whole-home job, and we pull permits on every replacement.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Davie
Davie sits inside the Broward County High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which adopts the Miami-Dade County product certification standard for every impact-rated opening. NOA certification tests the entire assembly - frame, glass, hardware - as a unit against wind-borne debris and cyclic pressure loads far beyond what a statewide product approval requires. An off-the-shelf impact window without a Miami-Dade NOA may not satisfy your insurer in Davie, even if it’s sold as “Florida impact.” We only install NOA-rated units here. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll show you the NOA number for anything we quote.
Usually both. The inspection flags the maximum unprotected opening, and on a 1970s Davie ranch, that’s almost always the 6- to 8-foot rear aluminum slider, with the original fixed and double-hung windows flagged alongside it. Replacing only the windows leaves the slider as the weak point, and Citizens will still non-renew. We quote the full opening package - windows and the sliding glass door - as one job so one permit, one crew visit, and one set of photo documentation covers everything. Call (813) 320-9346 for a breakdown of windows versus door on your specific house.
The three things we find most often behind the stucco of a pre-1994 Davie ranch are rotted jamb wood from decades of humidity, undersized headers over wide rear sliders, and failed or missing flashing tape where the frame meets the rough opening. We found all three on a 1978 concrete block ranch off Flamingo Road where the original 8-foot slider had triggered a Citizens non-renewal. The fix was a Miami-Dade NOA impact-rated sliding glass door with matching double-hung windows, plus jamb repair and new flashing, documented for the insurer before the renewal deadline. Our contract carries a written allowance for framing repair so surprises are priced and approved before we start, never after the wall is open. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule the initial inspection.
Yes, but the size of the cut depends on how many openings you replace and which low-E glass you choose. In a typical 1,800-square-foot Davie ranch with original single-pane aluminum windows, a full replacement with dual-pane low-E units reduces solar heat gain enough that most homeowners see a 12-22 percent drop on summer cooling bills. The afternoon sun on west-facing bedrooms off Flamingo Road or University Drive is the biggest culprit. Pair the glass with full-frame replacement and the perimeter air leaks get sealed too, which is usually worth as much as the glass itself. We’ll quote glass packages side by side so you can see the energy performance numbers before you choose.
In almost every case, no. Original 1970s-1980s aluminum frames in Davie are not rated for impact glazing, and adding heavy laminated impact glass to a frame that was never engineered for it voids the product listing and will fail your wind-mitigation inspection. The frame has to carry the impact load, not just the glass. If the frame is from the original build and has oxidation or seal failure, full-frame replacement is the right call. The only exception is a relatively modern NOA-rated frame in good condition, and an estimator can tell you that in ten minutes on site. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you straight which path your house needs.
